I'm looking for a new sewing machine and i need some advice on what to get. in school we use Janome i believe and i really like that brand but i cannot find the exact model we have online or at a reasonable price. I want a very good easy to use machine that is full size (not portable) for under or around $100

the main thing im looking for is it is easy to thread like on the Janome ones they have numbers to follow on where to go and what not! (link)
EBAY! thats like the best place ever to look for bargains lol and it can be really cheap. go to www.ebay.com and register, type ur search in, and you should find what your looking for! hope ive helped! xoxo


I just recently made a MySpace site. I am having alot of trouble finding a certain Video Code that I would like to have on my page. I wouldn't normally ask anyone else to help me find this, but I have been looking for over a half hour and can not find anything. If anyone can help me find this information, please get back to me a.s.a.p. Thank you very much for your time.

Artist: TLC
Song that i need the code for: I Miss You So Much
(It is on the Fanmail album) (link)
i don't know that much about myspaces but you can try www.videocodezone.com good luck! xoxo


I get musty very quick. I could be out in the sun for no longer than five minutes and I will get a little sweaty and musty. I don't even have to be in the sun, if I am active in a sport or something after a little while I will get musty. It is super embarasing. I REALLY want to know if any of you have any suggestions, deoderants, opinions, etc. (link)
hmm well this is normal. my cousin has the same problem. what you can do is if you're out in the sun on a hot day, make sure to not wear dark clothing, and wear like short shorts and a spaghetti strap tanktop. also wear sunglasses, because you don't wanna be blind or anything lol. drink LOTS OF WATERRRR! as for the deodorant, theres many many kinds that suck, and that work good. i think you should go with secret plantinum in the gell or solid. its about $3-5 nd u can get them anywhere such as walmart, walgreens, drug stores, etc. well good luck! hope i helped. xoxo


Hmm how do you get a backroundddd i rate fives (link)
a background for what? advicenators? well if its for that, you get to choose color themes or u can pick one that's already premade. just log in and go to Column Settings and u should find it on the bottom. hope this helps! xoxo


I share a bathroom with my 10 yearold sister and we keep our waste basket in the closet so my dog doesn't get to it. Everytime I get my period, i make sure i push my trash all the way to the bottom and close the closet door. BUT m sister always leaves the door open. My dog gets bloody tampons and the drags them around the house. My dad is getting disgusted and so am I! He blames it on me because of course its mine, not my moms. He says things like "You know the only thing that disgusts me is your bloody tampons" Its so embarassing!! How can I deal with this? My sister is an effin lazy ass. (link)
I suggest that you get a garbage can with a lid, or throw your trash outside. :)


Hey Mrs.S

You seem to be a proffessional at this parenting/childhood thing.

So I have a couple of questions:

1) What's the most important advice you could give to kids these days? Both girls and boys.
2) What are your thoughts on life as a grown up?
3) Anything else you'd like to ad?

Thank you =D (link)
Professional? I don't think so.

Answers to your questions;
1. To the kids - I keep saying it over and over - don't cave to peer pressure. Stay true to yourself and what your parents have taught you. Remember that it's easy to give up your innocence but you can NEVER get it back. Respect yourself with all your heart. If YOU don't respect yourself, how can you expect anybody else to respect you?? This advice applies to both girls AND boys.
2. Grown ups can be completely out of touch with the world their kids are growing up in. I think parents need to be more a part of their kids lives. So many parents don't even know what a myspace is and haven't even seen their own kids internet postings. I think this disconnect is dangerous for their kids AND their relationship WITH their kids.
3. For ALL people - quit being so critical of others. Respect the differnces we have and try and learn from people that are differnt...don't try and change them. And never try and change who YOU are. Also - try and CONTRIBUTE to society instead of TAKING. The world would be a much better place.

PS - Laugh more. The happiest relationships have a lot of laughter in them. Anger and hatred destroys so many lives.

Is that what you wanted?


Can anyone tell me the price range of a hamster?

Hehe, thanks. =] (link)
i am allergic to hamsters but they shouldn't cost more that $12.00


wow this is embarrassing but. im 13/f and I get made of 24/7 cuz of the music I listen to.. like oldies ...all kinds like frank sinatra, bobby darin, johnny cash, elvis, jerry lee lewis, and june carter cash. and I was just wondering if I should stop listening to it cuz I get made fun of.....? (link)
Wow. This is a NEW version of the SAME type of questions I get asked by teenagers.


High School is the time in your life where you explore what makes you happy and who you ARE. The people that I see that are the HAPPIEST are the ones that stay true to themselves and don't change for other people.

About your music...it's out there for a reason. Although it may seem like it at times - you are NOT the only one that likes that music. So ignore your friends' comments. Don't show a reaction. And don't change to make them happy. The results will be
1. By not reacting, you basically ruin their fun and they will quit teasing you.
2. By not changing to make them happy, you will earn their respect (although they may not show it) because THEY know how hard it is to resist peer pressure.
and 3. You will respect yourself so much more for standing up for who you are, and what you like. AND you will continue to listen to the music YOU love!

As I've said before - stay true to yourself and you won't regret it.

Much Love, Mrs S


hi i just left school and i like this guy i am over weight for my age and i havnt been asked out since i was in yr7 ,if i was in skewl this year i would be in yr11 anyway i like this guy he doesnt no but i dont want to tel him because im fat and guys just lookk at me than laugh then tell there mates should i loose weight for the guy i like for he will say yes (link)
Dont loose weight for some guy.
He cannot be that special if your going to loose anything loose your friends & loose the guy.
Your friends arnt good enough to tell you the truth, You DONT need to loose weight for a guy, if he is really good enough for you he'd LOVE you NO MATTER WHAT. a true friend could tell you that, and sincerly if the guy wont date you beacause you "over weight" (or so you say) He'll probably end up being a jackass anyways.
But if you want loose weight for yourself, I'd say go for it and do it healthy go for it.


i need teens to answer this only please!!
anyway so i have this perverted frien who likes to look at you know pictures and sites and stuff of women and he is only like 15. He is my really good friend but he is getting really perverted. I don't not want to be with him and i've already talked to him about his "habit" what should i do? (link)
He's 15, and intrested.
Its normal.. so he's more horny than you?
Leave him alone. Just ask him not to be so perverted towards you.


I saw the infomericals for sheer cover and bare minerals. And I was wondering which one works better? Does Nordstrom sell sheer cover or bare minerals? If you've tried one of these powders, could you tell me about your personal experience? (link)
I like bare Minerals.
It works really good, and i use it everyday!
I got mine froma store called Ultra, i dont shop at Nordstrom so i wouldnt know.


I decided this year to skip over the bikini for a one piece bathing suit because I have a chunky stomach...but I have no idea where to get a cute one at!! All the one pieces I see are all ugly. I really dont want to wear a bikini because I feel self-conscious but I may have to resort to that if I cant find a good one-piece, something cute and sexy. So please help me! Thanks everyone who helps!! (link)

13/f I just need a little help, or a lot depending how you look at it! Short Version:I like my best friend more than a friend and it is a SHE! I mean, I used to kid around with her but now whenever we get close i have to back off or I'm afraid I'll do something...stupid. And I'm starting to stare and when she looks at me I have to look away. I've been feeling like this for weeks and I dont think it's fair to her that I'm like this...what should I do? I thought I was normal! (link)
I think its funny how you say normal.
Nothing is normal.
there is no such thing as normal.
Being Lesbian or Bisexual doesnt make you "unnormal"
And it is okay, to like the same sex.
Some times this feeling passes, but you a teenager and your just learning how you fit into the world.
so calm down.


Does it hurt to get ur belly button pierced??? (link)
Depends on your pain tolerence, really.
